US EditionUS judge to block Trump move to end thousands of Latin American migrants' legal status
Judge Indira Talwani cited insufficient notice and legal concerns while blocking termination affecting 10,000 to 12,000 migrants under family reunification parole programs.
- On Jan 9, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said she will block President Donald Trump’s administration from cutting short legal status for 10,000 migrants from seven countries.
- On December 12, DHS announced it was ending family reunification parole programs created or modernized in 2022–23, effective January 14, with migrants entering from November 2023 to January 2025.
- Expressing frustration, Talwani told a U.S. Department of Justice lawyer, `I have a group of people here who are trying to follow the law, and I’m saying to you that we, America, also need to follow the law.`
- Without the court order, affected migrants would have been forced as of Wednesday to return to their countries or face deportation, losing three-year initial grants of humanitarian parole and work authorizations.
- The action fits within President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration agenda and followed cancellations of hundreds of thousands of humanitarian parole grant recipients, with Homeland Security saying the programs had been abused to allow `poorly vetted aliens to circumvent the traditional parole process`.
